Description: Jonathan will present a mechanism for privacy-preserving targeted advertising.  We'd like a public archive and the usual streaming for a presentation.  Jonathan is a researcher at Stanford University and will be presenting published work.

I'm waiting on a summary for the talk and specifics about the speaker's presentation format (but it should be pretty standard).

Stan,

You need to chase down dsicore for a permissions review before we can air this publicly.

Hey Richard, I'll do what I can.  FWIW, this speaker is not representing Mozilla or our point of view and is presenting *already public* work.

I'm not the right person to review a presentation on privacy.  Changing to Harvey Anderson.  Also, I share Sid's concerns.

Shannon, 

Sorry, that's probably my fault!  

There are 3 spriors in bugzilla, I must have grabbed the wrong one.  The UI isn't exactly user friendly.

Jonathan sent me a talk description, updating the title of this bug accordingly.

Title: "Tracking Not Required: Privacy-Preserving Third-Party Web Services"

Abstract:
  "Do Not Track is seemingly approaching an impasse. Policymakers, public interest groups, and researchers call for an effective control on collection of a user's browsing history.  Advertising companies, analytics services, social networks, and other third parties are unwilling to yield their current business practices.
  "But there is scope for compromise: functional third-party services that do not track users. This talk explains how to build such services with a set of engineering primitives and modern web technology. Examples include advertisement frequency capping, behavioral personalization, and social sharing. The talk will also survey the market failures that have thwarted privacy-preserving services and suggest how regulators and browser vendors might constructively realign incentives."
